Well Hi there. Thanks for that preview. Looking good. I'll be waiting for that summer release.

[Keegan V50 15]

looking forward to more...good luck on future BAT's!!

[nycc06 229]

Good news, just finished the final renders on the Goldman Sachs New World HQ building, but you'll all have to wait another few weeks before the building will be released on the stex. but for now, I'll leave you with these previews.

dang thats pretty, good to see you back in action, cant wait for more from you.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

It's looking good! I'd work more on the first few floors of the building. Usually the base is done differently (a lobby or retail space) instead of just sort of ending at the ground.

Also, I wonder if you really need to BAT the sidewalk here. The BATed sidewalk prevents shadows from other buildings from falling on it.

hey guys here's the final pics of the Goldman Sachs NWHQ before it will be released.

The tower will be released next tuesday on 19th May for my birthday. Hope u all like.

Thanks for all of the comments on the new release everyone. Hopefully in about a week or so, i'll be finished at university and can start work again on finishing the Freedom Tower. Keep you all posted.

Now... this is the first time I've signed in in a while (as I download things through SC4D more nowadays) so this is why my comment on your previous buildings is coming rather late. These aren't very pressing issues so they don't have to be immediately worked on if you have limited time.

A few buildings lack a base or a prominent entrance which sort of detracts from their appearance. Examples include Oceana and Eclipse. The Alexander's entrance might want to be improved to make it more "distinct" from the rest of the building.

Another nitpick that I have is that the CAAC Bay View has some really white columms between the base and the first half of the building. Is it possible if that is toned down somewhat to grey?

Finally, Lincoln Heights (from preview photos) has a roof garden at top, but i can't see how the sims could get up there (lack of access hatch) and if there are barriers to keep them in the confines of the garden. Also, the corner entrance to the building looks a little peculiar, but that might be unavoidable.

Otherwise, I really enjoy using many of your tall skyscrapers... the texturing and modeling work om most of them is superb and outstanding. I look forward to seeing the completion of upcoming projects. =)

Can't wait to see what else you have in store; keep up the awsome work...

Thinks to self:YES! Someones working on FT again!!

[nycc06 229]

allan_kuan1992, thanks for your input. Unfortunately many of the buildings created before the Austin Bank Tower cannot be altered in anyway because I no longer have the model files for the bats. This is because late last year, my computer sort of died and I lost everything on them including the model files so I can't really do anything about those past towers without re-modelling the bats again from scratch. As for the Lincoln Heights tower, from another elevation you can see that there is a raised section on the roof that provides an access hatch to the roof.

[allan_kuan1992 6]

Okay... thanks for the info.

Please don't be mad when I ask this really repetative question "any recent news/updates?" thanks.

[nycc06 229]

Finally after finishing university for this year, i've been able to start work again on 1 WTC (Freedom Tower). Here's a render of the tower so far. Sorry for the lack of textures, these will be added at a later stage. Right now only the modeling for the windows has been completed. It actually took me near on 6 hours just to align the two parts of the model together. This is mainly beacuse the model's  file size is a massive 110,000KB overall. Anyay, i'll be working on the base section next with some more modelling work. After this i'll be starting work on the roof section.

[Scarton 57]

It's looking good. : )

[nycc06 229]

After working on the BAT all of today, i've got some new renders of the almost completed base section of the tower. All that remains is to add nightlighting to to the base before i start work on the next part of the BAT. Here's the renders, feedback would be appreciated.

[Keegan V50 15]

looks very nice,looking forward to the upper sections of its base which its the tower...

[Amthaak 1,501]

I like it very much. Very well detailed!

[Francis90b 748]

Looking very good !

[Godzillaman 21]

That looks big, how many tiles do you think it would take up?

[nycc06 229]

Godzillaman: the lot size expected for the BAT will be 7 tiles wide by 5 tiles deep. This includes the street landscaping. The tower itself takes up almost exactly a 4x4 tile lot. I'm not sure yet how many the entire complex will take up but it shouldn't be more than the original WTC lot already on the stex.
